More quotes by Neil deGrasse Tyson
I try to write in a way where you care deeply what the next paragraph will be. I hear the rhythm of prose and that, to me, distinguishes great writing from ordinary writing. By the way, I don't even claim that I'm good. I claim that I value it.

I'm an educator, and I'm a scientist, and I speak what is objectively true. And if that offends you, I can try to have a conversation with you to ask why it offends you, and tell you why objective truth should not offend you because that's how the world works.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Nothing is a thing: it's nothing. So I can imagine a place where there's not even nothing.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
So not enough people in this world, I think, carry a cosmic perspective with them. It could be life-changing.

One should not be too distracted by definitions. Ideas transcend definitions.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
We live in a world where not everyone has the urge to help others... It is OK to encourage others to pull themselves up by the bootstraps, but if you do, just remember that some people have no boots.

Once you've got the makings of a star, gravity draws leftover gas and dust into a giant swirling disk. The dust continues to stick together, clumping into rocky asteroids, which eventually become orbiting rocky planets. And voila: a solar system!

One of the things that fascinates me most is when people are so charmed by the universe that it becomes part of their artistic output.

I think I'm misunderstood when I post these comments about films. So here is Kate Winslet sitting on - you know, laying on this plank. This ship is down. She let her boyfriend drown. They didn't even try a second time to get him to float on that with her. So I'm angry by that. I think...

When you're advancing a frontier it stimulates creativity to find solutions.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
If you seek only easy problems to solve, then ultimately, there'll be nothing about you to distinguish yourself from others.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I never got into 'Star Wars.' Maybe because they made no attempt to portray real physics. At all.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Publicly and among themselves biologists rightly celebrate the diversity of life on Earth... At the end of the day, however, their confession is heard by no one: they work with a single scientific sample-life on Earth.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The typical person has no trouble believing without knowing. What people need to realize is simply that you do not need to believe to know.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
If God to you is where science has yet to tread, then God is an ever-receding pocket.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I have thoughts every day that are themselves tweets.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
When scientifically investigating the natural world, the only thing worse than a blind believer is a seeing denier.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
What I’m saying is, when different experiments give you the same result, it is no longer subject to your opinion. That’s the good thing about science: It’s true whether or not you believe in it. That’s why it works.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
In science, if you don't do it, somebody else will. Whereas in art, if Beethoven didn't compose the 'Ninth Symphony,' no one else before or after is going to compose the 'Ninth Symphony' that he composed no one else is going to paint 'Starry Night' by van Gogh.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Who you are, where you've been and what you've done is all up here, captured and preserved in your memories. If you lost that - the story of your own origins - you'd lose your identity, your sense of self.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
